No, she's not,. it's just a good cop bad cop routine jfern Oct 2015 #145

Possibly Eko Oct 2015 #155

I think every other candidate said they'd be willing to go to any debate Hillary is at jfern Oct 2015 #157

By the same token Eko Oct 2015 #158

Not many will watch a debate without Clinton, and she doesn't actually want any more jfern Oct 2015 #159

So they are serious about Eko Oct 2015 #160

Whatever, it's obvious that Hillary doesn't want more than 6 debates jfern Oct 2015 #161

Yes, Eko Oct 2015 #162

She could actually ask the DNC for more debates like every other campaign did jfern Oct 2015 #163

So you are saying Eko Oct 2015 #172

Come on, it's clear Hillary doesn't want more than 6 debates jfern Oct 2015 #173

I will assume Eko Oct 2015 #174

Your argument reminds me of when people say Eko Oct 2015 #175

Come on, we weren't born yesterday jfern Oct 2015 #176

Yes, we werent born yesterday. Eko Oct 2015 #177
